JULIET
ACT 4 , SCENE 2 JlO'.A.~~
Look, she's come home from confession with a happy look on her face.
So, my headstrong daughter, where have you been?
I went somewhere where I learned that being disobe- dient to my father is a sin. Holy Father Lawrence instructed me to fall on my knees and beg your for- giveness. (she kneels down) Forgive me, I beg you. From now on I'll do whatever you say.
Send for the Count. Go tell him about this. I'll make this wedding happen tomorrow morning.
I met the young man at Lawrence's cell. I treated him with the proper love, as well as I could, while still being modest.
Well, I'm glad about this. This is good. Stand up.
JULIET stands up.
This is the way is should be. I want to see the count. Yes, alright, go, I say, and bring him here. Now, before God, our whole city owes this friar a great debt.
Nurse, will you come with me to my closet and help me pick out the clothes and the jewelry I'll need to wear tomorrow?
